Another morning and I awoke in my
exec bed and after five minutes I realised I still had my exec cold (not sure I
have mentioned that) so I laid back down and wished I could go back to sleep,
but that was not an option as today is pack day and go home day.
Breakfast gave me the chance to
restock the fruit department and after attempting to pack my things, why do my
clothes seem to expand for the journey home, perhaps when they are dirty they
are bigger.
My journey to work was a lucky one,
lucky as it was done in the dry but just after arriving at work it started to
rain. Earlier in the week I stated that
90% of London worked in the opposite direction to me, well today I think that
moved to 100%. It was almost impossible
and to boot managed to almost walk into a poor blind guy with a stick, who
rather confusingly saw me first and move around me.
Since the Olympics London have had
these guys who are employed to wear florescent jackets and bibs saying they are
there to help, what I love about them is that if you give eye contact to any of
them they respond by saying good morning.
I do that regularly as it makes me feel like I have friends. I have to admit to getting so desperate for
friends I am sure one day I will end of stopping and chatting just for social
practice.
One disappointment tonight is that
an event is happening around Kings Cross called Luminia or something like that
where there is due to be a pretty impressive light show (if you believe the
literature). It starts at 6.00 p.m.
tonight, jus the time I am going for my train and finishes 22:00 on Sunday
night, which is about 10 hours before I get back. There is a hell of a lot of effort going into
this event when it is for such a short time.
I got one walk around my lap of St
Pancras and Kings Cross which wasn’t good but it has been a very busy day.
By the time I left at just after
6.00 p.m. I was hoping to see some of the lights but no, not really, there was
a little display which seemed to have drawn a bit of a crowd but the main
lights were the wrong way for me as I was heading toward the station.
I would like to say it was an
unusual journey home with a delay on the train to such an extent that as we
pulled into Doncaster it was within two minutes to my train departing. I did catch it as mine was held up a little while also. I would like to say it was unusual but in
reality it is very rare the train makes it on time. It often leaves on time but, to be fair to
Hull Trains, it isn’t their fault as this time it was defective track between
London and Peterborough that meant we had to go slow for about the first half
of the journey which put us into Doncaster some 25 minutes late. But I caught my train home and no damage
done, in fact it was better for me as I got to stay in a warm train rather than
sit on a cold platform for those 25 minutes.
Anyway I was finally home and just
one more workday until the weekend and then I can relax and get ready for
Monday when I can do it all over again.
Reminders for next week.
Needs to get a black scarf,
particularly as it is going to be very cold
Try and visit the exhibition at the
National History Museum which is about beautiful photography of the universe,
so would like to see that.
But that is all for now and it is a
good night from me
